texas, connecticut, wisconsin, and hawaii. who would you say are the strongest gop candidates that can win the most senate seats? second of all, how confident are you that those candidates can win those seats? guest: you have asked a complicated question because you have primaries in some of those states. the texas primary keeps getting pushed down the road because of redistricting. you have a number of well- funded and pretty well-known candidates there. the lieutenant governor, the former mayor of dallas, the former u.s. solicitor who is angling for the tea party. i think you will probably see a runoff in that state because if you do not get 50%, you get forced into a runoff. the goal is to make the runoff and hope for a low turnout. it does not matter who wins the nomination. they have won the seat. hawaii -- there is in nominal primary. the candidate will win it very comfortably. if she loses this race, it will be because she simply got overpowered by the top of the ticket of obama's victory in hawaii. another state with a

the lady that was that the house yesterday from hawaii trying to pass an act from 1921. i saw your reaction. i wanted your opinion on that issue. guest: well, what i believe she was trying to do is resurrect an authorization that was done in the 1920's. she was trying to put more affordable housing into hawaii, asking for something like $13 million. that was ruled out of order. there is a point of order put in place. we did not end up voting on that particular proposed amendment. host: one issue we are not talk about is the arizona immigration issue. here is majority leader harry reid talking about republicans. [video clip] >> unfortunately, republicans who once faced a solution are deserting efforts to find common ground. the only decisive voice on this issue today seems to be from mitt romney, who has called it -- called the unconstitutional arizona law the model for the nation. that is what he said. he is also promised to veto the dream act. democrats believe the institutionalized racism in the air is, what is hardly the model for reform in a country that stands for j

find ourselves in, but last night president obama called myself and the speaker and maybe others from hawaii and asked if there was something weekend do to avoid the fiscal cliff. i say i'm a little frustrated because we've been asking the president and the democrats to work with us on a bipartisan agreement for months, literally for months. a plan that would simplify the tax code, shrink the deficit, protect the taxpayers, and grow the economy. but democrats consistently rejected those offers. the president chose instead to spend his time on the campaign trail. this was even after he got reelected. and congressional democrats sat on their hands. now republicans have bent over backwards. we stepped way, way out of our comfort zone. we wanted an agreement, but we had no takers. the phone never rang. and so now here we are five days from the new year, and we might finally start talking. democrats have had an entire year to put forward a balanced bipartisan proposal, and if they had something that fit the bill, i'm sure the majority leader would have been able to deliver the votes the president
